Coming to NY in May!


Salaam Peeps.

I'm coming to NY this May for a conference (Independent Viewpoints) to check out Noam Chomsky.

I'll be out there Friday - Sunday. Can anyone recommend anything to do. It will be my first time out there.

Thanks y'alls.

Chi-town brotha.

So basically...NY'ers are kinda like watermelon...hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

And cali'ers are like kiwi...soft on the outside, soft on the inside.

Good stuff...I'm hungry for some fruit salad now!

baltinena - lol...dude for real. Cali ppl are super duper uper friendly. It's cool. A change from the stuck up chicago suburb folks.

I just hope NY is all I expect it to be. I'm preparing myself not to expect super nice ppl, but rather alot of just everything else.

I heard they have halaal hotdog stands and whatnot. Is that true?

blues - i envy you....you are seriously making me drool. I would never leave San Diego if I were you. But I guess we all need a change.

I'll be honest...I'm looking to call a new place my home for the next year or two...I just need to get out of Chi-town. Been here all my life, I need to see what else is out there. Obviously I gotta to to NY for that conference (which btw you should totally go), but I'll be looking to see if it is habitable. Who knows if the trip is temp or perm. );

My cousins will be moving to San Diego, so I'm considering visiting them to see what life might be like over there. I would love to never again have to wear socks or shoes in fact. Always in sandals...ahhhh! (H)

I went to Dallas...sorry I would not recommend that place. Everything closes the min the sun goes down! Very boring city. :(

Sorry to all the ny peeps...just that cali is the sunniest place i've been to in the states.

Where in cali were you from?

Anything you can recommend?

I'm not a huge sheesha smoker, but when I'm on vacation, I wouldn't mind chillaxing a bit and hit the pipe.

Next question: if i'm there for a weekend, what is the average toursit budget there for a wholesome weekend?

- dinner
- going out
- touring the city
- cab fairs
- subway fairs
- "I've visted NY, and all I got was this dumb t-shirt" t-shirt cost

I thought I was the GUEST in NY. Thus anyone in NY would be the HOST.

Where art thou brothers? I have to fend for myself here.

hey if I can get a tour guide for a nominal fee...count me in. Fees-shmees I will pay you in camels and chickens. I'll give you half a camel and 5 chickens before the deal and half a camel and 5 chickens after the deal.

I think that should suffice.
